Lexicon :: Strong's H157 - 'āhaḇ

“Also the foreigners ^H1121 H5236 who join ^H3867 themselves to the LORD ^H3068,

To attend ^H8334 to His service ^H8334 and to love ^H157 the name ^H8034 of the LORD ^H3068,

To be His servants ^H5650, every ^H3605 one ^H3605 who keeps ^H8104 the Sabbath ^H7676 so as not to profane ^H2490 it,

And holds ^H2388 firmly ^H2388 to My covenant ^H1285;

His watchmen ^H6822 are blind ^H5787,

All ^H3605 of them know ^H3045 nothing ^H3808.

All ^H3605 of them are mute ^H483 dogs ^H3611 unable ^H3808 H3201 to bark ^H5024,

Dreamers ^H1957 lying ^H7901 down ^H7901, who love ^H157 to slumber ^H5123;

“Behind ^H310 the door ^H1817 and the doorpost ^H4201

You have set ^H7760 up ^H7760 your sign ^H2146;

Indeed ^H3588, far removed ^H4480 from Me, you have uncovered ^H1540 yourself,

And have gone ^H5927 up ^H5927 and made ^H7337 your bed ^H4904 wide ^H7337.

And you have made ^H3772 an agreement for yourself with them,

You have loved ^H157 their bed ^H4904,

You have looked ^H2372 at their [fn]manhood ^H3027.

For I, the LORD ^H3068, love ^H157 justice ^H4941,

I hate ^H8130 robbery ^H1498 [fn]in the burnt ^H5930 offering ^H5930;

And I will faithfully ^H571 give ^H5414 them their reward ^H6468,

And make ^H3772 an everlasting ^H5769 covenant ^H1285 with them.

“Be ^H8055 joyful ^H8055 with Jerusalem ^H3389 and rejoice ^H1523 for her, all ^H3605 you who love ^H157 her;

Be exceedingly ^H4885 glad ^H7797 with her, all ^H3605 you who mourn ^H56 over ^H5921 her,

“Keep ^H4513 your feet ^H7272 from ^H4513 H4480 being bare ^H3182,

And your throat ^H1627 from thirst ^H6773;

But you said ^H559, ‘It is [fn]hopeless ^H2976!

No ^H3808! For I have loved ^H157 strangers ^H2114,

And I will walk ^H1980 after ^H310 them.’

The prophets ^H5030 prophesy ^H5012 falsely ^H8267,

And the priests ^H3548 rule ^H7287 [fn]on their own authority ^H3027;

And My people ^H5971 love ^H157 it this ^H3651 way ^H3651!

But what ^H4100 will you do ^H6213 [fn]when the end ^H319 comes?

This ^H3541 is ^H3541 what ^H3541 the LORD ^H3068 says ^H559 to this ^H2088 people ^H5971: “So ^H3651 much ^H3651 they have loved ^H157 to wander ^H5128; they have not restrained ^H2820 their feet ^H7272. Therefore the LORD ^H3068 does not accept ^H7521 them; now ^H6258 He will remember ^H2142 their wrongdoing ^H5771 and call ^H6485 their sins ^H2403 to ^H6485 account ^H6485.”

“Go ^H5927 up ^H5927 to Lebanon ^H3844 and cry ^H6817 out ^H6817,

And raise ^H5414 your voice ^H6963 in Bashan ^H1316;

Cry ^H6817 out ^H6817 also from Abarim ^H5682,

For all ^H3605 your lovers ^H157 have been crushed ^H7665.

“The wind ^H7307 will sweep ^H7462 away ^H7462 all ^H3605 your shepherds ^H7462,

And your lovers ^H157 will go ^H1980 into captivity ^H7628;

Then ^H227 you will certainly ^H3588 be ^H954 ashamed ^H954 and humiliated ^H3637

Because ^H4480 of all ^H3605 your wickedness ^H7451.

‘All ^H3605 your lovers ^H157 have forgotten ^H7911 you,

They do not seek ^H1875 you;

For I have wounded ^H5221 you with the wound ^H4347 of an enemy ^H340,

With the punishment ^H4148 of a cruel ^H394 one ^H394,

Because ^H5921 your wrongdoing ^H5771 is great ^H7230,

And your sins ^H2403 are ^H6105 numerous ^H6105.

The LORD ^H3068 appeared ^H7200 to [fn]him [fn]long ^H7350 ago ^H7350, saying,

“I have loved ^H157 you with an everlasting ^H5769 love ^H160;

Therefore ^H5921 H3651 I have drawn ^H4900 you out ^H4900 with kindness ^H2617.

She weeps ^H1058 bitterly ^H1058 in the night ^H3915,

And her tears ^H1832 are on her cheeks ^H3895;

She has ^H369 no ^H369 one ^H369 to comfort ^H5162 her

Among ^H4480 all ^H3605 her lovers ^H157.

All ^H3605 her friends ^H7453 have dealt ^H898 treacherously ^H898 with her;

They have become ^H1961 her enemies ^H340.

“I called ^H7121 to my lovers ^H157, but they deserted ^H7411 me;

My priests ^H3548 and my elders ^H2205 perished ^H1478 in the city ^H5892

While ^H3588 they sought ^H1245 food ^H400 to restore ^H7725 their [fn]strength ^H5315 themselves.

“Oholah ^H170 prostituted ^H2181 herself [fn]while ^H8478 she was Mine ^H8478; and she lusted ^H5689 after ^H5921 her lovers ^H157, after ^H413 the Assyrians ^H804, her neighbors ^H7138,

“Therefore ^H3651, Oholibah ^H172, this ^H3541 is ^H3541 what ^H3541 the Lord ^H136 [fn]GOD ^H3068 says ^H559: ‘Behold ^H2009 I am going to incite ^H5782 your lovers ^H157 against ^H5921 you, from whom ^H834 [fn]you turned ^H5361 away ^H5361 in ^H5361 disgust ^H5361, and I will bring ^H935 them against ^H5921 you from every ^H5439 side ^H5439:

“For their mother ^H517 has committed ^H2181 prostitution ^H2181;

She who conceived ^H2029 them has acted ^H954 shamefully ^H954.

For she said ^H559, ‘I will go ^H1980 after ^H310 my lovers ^H157,

Who give ^H5414 me my bread ^H3899 and my water ^H4325,

My wool ^H6785 and my flax ^H6593, my oil ^H8081 and my drink ^H8250.’

“And she will pursue ^H7291 her lovers ^H157, but she will not reach ^H5381 them;

And she will seek ^H1245 them, but will not find ^H4672 them.

Then she will say ^H559, ‘I will go ^H1980 back ^H7725 to my first ^H7223 husband ^H376,

Because ^H3588 it was better ^H2896 for me then ^H227 than ^H4480 now ^H6258!’

“So now ^H6258 I will uncover ^H1540 her [fn]lewdness ^H5040

Before the eyes ^H5869 of her lovers ^H157,

And no ^H3808 one ^H376 will rescue ^H5337 her from My hand ^H3027.

“And I will destroy ^H8074 her vines ^H1612 and fig ^H8384 trees ^H8384,

Of which ^H834 she said ^H559, ‘They are my wages ^H866 for ^H866 prostitution ^H866

Which ^H834 my lovers ^H157 have given ^H5414 me.’

And I will turn ^H7760 them into a forest ^H3293,

And the animals ^H2416 of the field ^H7704 will devour ^H398 them.

Then the LORD ^H3068 said ^H559 to me, “Go ^H1980 again ^H5750, love ^H157 [fn]a woman ^H802 who is loved ^H157 by her [fn]husband ^H7453, yet is committing ^H5003 adultery ^H5003, as the LORD ^H3068 loves ^H157 the sons ^H1121 of Israel ^H3478, though they turn ^H6437 to other ^H312 gods ^H430 and love ^H157 [fn]raisin ^H809 H6025 cakes ^H809.”

Their liquor ^H5435 is gone ^H5493,

They prostitute ^H2181 themselves continually ^H2181;

[fn]Their [fn]rulers ^H4043 dearly ^H157 love ^H157 shame ^H7036.

Do not rejoice ^H8055, Israel ^H3478, [fn]with jubilation ^H1524 like the [fn]nations ^H5971!

For you have been ^H2181 unfaithful ^H2181, [fn]abandoning ^H4480 H5921 your God ^H430.

You have loved ^H157 the earnings ^H868 of unfaithfulness on [fn]every ^H3605 threshing ^H1637 floor ^H1637.

I found ^H4672 Israel ^H3478 like grapes ^H6025 in the wilderness ^H4057;

I saw ^H7200 your forefathers ^H1 as the earliest ^H1063 fruit ^H1063 on the fig ^H8384 tree ^H8384 in its first ^H7225 season.

But they came ^H935 to Baal-peor ^H1187 and devoted ^H5144 themselves to [fn]shame ^H1322,

And they became ^H1961 as detestable ^H8251 as that which ^H159 they loved ^H157.

Ephraim ^H669 is a trained ^H3925 heifer ^H5697 that loves ^H157 to thresh ^H1758,

[fn]And I passed ^H5674 over ^H5921 her lovely ^H2898 neck ^H6677;

I will harness ^H7392 Ephraim ^H669,

Judah ^H3063 will plow ^H2790, Jacob ^H3290 will [fn]harrow ^H7702 for himself.

When ^H3588 Israel ^H3478 was a youth ^H5288 I loved ^H157 him,

And out of Egypt ^H4714 I called ^H7121 My son ^H1121.

A [fn]merchant ^H3669, in whose hands ^H3027 are fraudulent ^H4820 balances ^H3976,

Loves ^H157 to exploit ^H6231.

I will heal ^H7495 their apostasy ^H4878,

I will love ^H157 them freely ^H5071,

Because ^H3588 My anger ^H639 has turned ^H7725 away ^H7725 from them.

“[fn]Offer ^H6999 a thanksgiving ^H8426 offering ^H8426 also from that which is leavened ^H2557,

And proclaim ^H7121 [fn]voluntary ^H5071 offerings ^H5071, make ^H8085 them known ^H8085.

For so ^H3651 you love ^H157 to do, you sons ^H1121 of Israel ^H3478,”

Declares ^H5002 the Lord ^H136 GOD ^H3068.

Hate ^H8130 evil ^H7451, love ^H157 good ^H2896,

And establish ^H3322 justice ^H4941 in the [fn]gate ^H8179!

Perhaps ^H194 the LORD ^H3068 God ^H430 of armies ^H6635

Will be ^H2603 gracious ^H2603 to the remnant ^H7611 of Joseph ^H3130.

“You who hate ^H8130 good ^H2896 and love ^H157 evil ^H7451,

Who tear ^H1497 off ^H1497 their skin ^H5785 from them

And their flesh ^H7607 from their bones ^H6106,

He has told ^H5046 you, mortal ^H120 one ^H120, what ^H4100 is good ^H2896;

And what ^H4100 does the LORD ^H3068 require ^H1875 of you

But to do ^H6213 justice ^H4941, to love ^H157 [fn]kindness ^H2617,

And to walk ^H1980 [fn]humbly ^H6800 with your God ^H430?

“I have loved ^H157 you,” says ^H559 the LORD ^H3068. But you say ^H559, “How ^H4100 have You loved ^H157 us?” “Was Esau ^H6215 not Jacob’s ^H3290 brother ^H251?” declares ^H5002 the LORD ^H3068. “Yet I have loved ^H157 Jacob ^H3290;
